our kids stink at math and science. there is no indication there is a link between this dump of federal and local money and whether results. the school system is one of the worst in the state. we gave them a free $100 million high school to motivate learning and test scores haven't changed at all. no one can connect this money with better result. isn't that the point to get smarter kids? martha: it is the point. we have seen in so many of our inner cities, the more money that gets thrown at the program over the years, we have seen a declining rate of grades and test scores. so we added more money, we are getting lower test scores. you want to make sure you will have quality in those hours. up believe the way to do that is to promote school choice which doesn't seem to be happening in this administration. >> what can do you with a few dollars for kids? before president obama became president congress passed a d.c. voucher program and was sending them to sidwell where the president's daughters go. one of the first things

>> well, you know, definitive is a tough word in science because that establishes a very direct cause and effect relationship. keep in mind, when you look at these for several years now these brains have been studied of players who have died. sometimes prematurely. their brains are studied but oftentimes studied because there was a suspicion in the first place and biassed the study a little bit and what researchers are saying. be a little bit cautious interpreting the results and compelling stuff. wolf, as you mentioned, i'm researching this a long time. there's players over the years that we heard about, dave dorson, for example, he had written a letter about this. he served on some of the committees that evaluated head injuries and he himself donated the brain. he committed suicide but left a note saying to donate the brain. john mack i can, the same sort of thing. one of the most compelling things about this study is welcoming at this in stages. instead of saying someone has it or don't, they are creating stage i to stage iv for severity and based on usually how many of the blows t

last week i saw one of their science programs. they introduced something called crowd sourcing. it is individuals with their own computers take down complex intellectual problems and solve them and then up load the answers to help scientists. last week they saw these unbelievably complicated issues about protein. i like to bring crowd sourcing into this policy. maybe we can set them up in every state assistance could learn what is going on and there's a budget and then come up to the great hill there and see if we could take on a crowd sourcing of the federal budget. at least we're getting an education if we're paying attention. you can not be simple enough. we need the basics. what is the base as and broaden the base? them we would have an independent check on the work of the ceo and all the bookings. guest: thank you. that is a very interesting idea. the go to the federal budget, they have tax cuts or you can plug in which taxes the want to get rid of and how it affects the rate and individuals and their tax burdens. they also have one on the spending side. it is a terrific to
